Summary

Scrutinizes and contextualizes the original 19th century children’s history books on which recent pedagogical republications are based. The author demonstrates that far from being non-ideological, these works were rooted in intense contemporary debates over changing conceptions of childhood, focusing on different pedagogical strategies and philosophies of history.
